CRC is for error checking
the rest of your examples are for user information.

CRC = adds error correction (whether or not this is worth the ~1kbps it uses is another question)

Original = it doesn't really mean anything, you can set it to TRUE if the encode is from the original source, FALSE if you are transcoding

Copyright = it doesn't actually mean anything, you can set it to TRUE if the encode is from copyrighted material (like CDs), or FALSE otherwise

Emphasis = it doesn't really mean anything, I have read that this is obsolete, I do not know what it was originally intened to mean.

Does that help?
